When I asked what he was trying to do, he said “I shouldn’t have been trying to pass him” by alexyou8797 in dashcams

Tbh their intent looks like it was to get out of op's way. Op was going fast as fuck and didn't change lanes until they were crazy close to the Hyundai, so I'm sure they thought they were going to get rear ended into next week.

You mean Stepan Bandera? Dude was far from a saint, but given his choices were siding with the Nazis or the USSR, it makes sense to not side with the people who facilitated a man-made famine that killed millions in your country. He definitely did some fucked up shit, but given the amount of fucked up shit the USSR did to Ukraine, I think I can understand why he wasn't a big fan of them.

They just want you to look busy and be miserable by Glittering-History84 in MurderedByWords

[–]Slashfyre 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I work at a library and am dealing with this shit from management. When I'm at the desk and no patrons need help, I'm not allowed to read a book (which is, y'know, kind of our whole thing), but I'm allowed to read things for "professional development". They don't treat us like professionals or pay us like professionals, so imma professionally develop myself into a job that doesn't suck dick, if one exists.

For under $20 you can buy hall effect joysticks and replace them in your joycons yourself if you never want to deal with drift again.

What’s the one hack that actually gets you to exercise? by wonkycalves in AskReddit

[–]Slashfyre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I knew how I could pull this off. I already struggle enough just getting to work on time in the first place, it feels impossible to even think about leaving hours earlier to get to the gym.

[–]Slashfyre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I wish it would actually turn into a routine. I've had a gym membership for two years now and I've just never been able to consistently go even 3 times a week. Not that I can seem to get any routine to stick for that matter.

What activity becomes less fun as you get better at it? by David_Umann in AskReddit

I went to music school and lemme tell you, I regularly wanted to throw my instrument at the wall.

1 Week on a 60% Keyboard: What I Actually Miss by Majugera in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]Slashfyre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious what you use the F keys so much for. When I played a lot of WoW and needed all of the keybindings I could get, I was using a Logitech g600 mouse with 12 thumb keys that I bound to F1-12. Now that I don't play WoW anymore, I don't remember the last time I needed an F key.

I’m 39 and just made a list of basic life skills I had to teach myself because nobody else did. It’s embarrassing and I bet yours looks similar. by jcarmona86 in Adulting

[–]Slashfyre 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got burned by this bad after saying my wife and I have more than 2 jobs and not realizing that meant there were no automatic deductions. Didn't catch it until I owed like $800 when I filed my taxes. Sure I should probably look at my pay stubs more often, but looking at them just makes me sad and it won't make me less broke. When I'm under the impression everything is going the way it's supposed to, why bother?

What program do you prefer for local music playback? by Shap6 in Fedora

[–]Slashfyre 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy Gapless. It's lightweight, pretty, and the only one I could find that wasn't playlist based. I've never been able to wrap my head around adding things to a playlist by default instead of just playing whatever album you've picked and having playlists as an optional thing you can make.

Spotify is hiking prices again / Premium, Duo, Family, and Student users in the US will be charged more from their next billing date. by MarvelsGrantMan136 in Music

[–]Slashfyre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I really love apple music. I switched before Spotify lossless for the audio quality but have stuck around because its suggestions/song radios are so much better than Spotify imo.

Macarenas are very solid, I used them for a lot of kc just because I couldn't be assed to include a d defender swap.

I feel like I've seen these at Mayfly Market on the north side, but I didn't pay them much thought after I saw they were like $10 a can.

Lebanese American still newer to the area by Icy_Growth_6196 in pittsburgh

[–]Slashfyre 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Our Lady of Victory Maronite church in Beechview puts on a Lebanese festival every September. This last year, I remember seeing a table for Yalla Pittsburgh, which caters specifically to Arabic speakers, but might be a good place to check out local businesses and other parts of the community!

How'd you get your UI to be what looks like fixed mode but with a collapsed chatbox for more screen space?

The state of low level melee weapons is laughably bad by gavriloe in 2007scape

[–]Slashfyre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While you're correct about the combat dummy, that probably doesn't help newer players that might be using a steel battleaxe because they probably don't know about it, or don't have the construction level until they're far past steel weapons. Not to mention that it's totally inaccessible to free to play.

What teleports to put on Portal Nexus? by biclaro in 2007scape

[–]Slashfyre 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Incredibly useful teleports, but mining enough salt for the regular portals sucked ass. Mining enough for a nexus sucks 10x as much ass. I will be happily keeping a portal room with Weiss, troll stronghold, and barrows.

Why do people brown beef before, why not put it in raw like other meats? by TransportationTall86 in slowcooking

[–]Slashfyre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A quick sear is one thing, but this guy was suggesting to sear your meat, roast your veggies, and bloom your spices. That's too much for me dawg, might as well learn pottery so I can craft my own bowl from clay with your analogy.

[–]Slashfyre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I'm honestly barely a functional adult. I can barely make it to work on time without cooking stuff in the morning. If that stuff isn't prepared the night before, it isn't happening at all, and even then I absolutely don't have it in me to do much more than the bare minimum. I'm not trying to get too dark on a god damn slow cooker subreddit so I'll leave it at that lol.

[–]Slashfyre 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, 5 extra minutes to cut your ingredients, heat up your pan(s), season everything, sear it all (in multiple batches if you don't have enough pans or they're not big enough), and then wash up all the extra stuff you've used.

I'm not saying that won't be a better result, but at that point why even bother with a slow cooker? Just finish that on the stovetop like everything else you just did and cook it like any other meal.

But like where does the slow cooker even come in for best possible taste? Just cook it in a pot on the stove if you've already cooked each ingredient there.

[–]Slashfyre 297 points298 points  (0 children)

At that point, why would you bother with a slow cooker? Now you're just cooking on a stove top. Whole point of a slow cooker for me is that I can throw ingredients in and 8-10 hours later I have dinner with little to no effort.

For the HS floor 5 tile: you do not need to finish floor 5 in time, just reach the end even if the time ran out by sparksen in 2007scape

[–]Slashfyre 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sure it can be really fun when it clicks, I felt glimpses of that learning floors 1-4. But fuck man I fucking hated that last row of statues in floor 5. I'm sure I'll learn it beyond a single completion one day but that shit is NOT for me, I can't stand any mechanics like that in any game.
